Porteus

New features which should be implemented in Porteus; suggestions are welcome. All questions or problems with testing releases (alpha, beta, or rc) should go in their relevant thread here, rather than the Bug Reports section.

Copy my printing module to the folder modules of Porteus. For example /mnt/sdb1/porteus/modules
Reboot Porteus and then run system-config-printer.
If you use 32 bit, and can't run system-config-printer
please, open terminal and run these commands for install cups-2.1.4

New version seems to have worked but no test page printed. It was able to configure my network printer once I manually put the IP address in and manually selected the brand and model, the config window showed 3 drivers for it and I chose the top one.

FYI - I happen to have Ubuntu Mate 15.10 on USB so I try that, works perfect.
Trouble seems to be that Porteus kernel not give me /dev/lp0 on this machine.
Rest of v3.2 works very nice for me. Great job!

So why not printing for kde, cinnamon. ... ... smaller packages for those two big ones, and bigger packages with cups for mate, xfce ...
Forget my suggestion, the less packages there will be, the simpler, KISS, KISS, KISS. 8)
